Pixel 10 Pro XL videos sounding off? You’re holding it wrong

What’s new: Google has changed the positions of the bottom speaker and microphone on the Pixel 10 Pro XL compared to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. This alteration may lead to audio issues for right-handed users when recording videos in landscape mode, as they may inadvertently cover the microphone with their palm.

Who’s affected

Right-handed users of the Pixel 10 Pro XL who record videos in landscape mode may experience muffled or uneven audio due to the new microphone placement.

What to do

  • Rotate the phone 180 degrees while recording to avoid covering the microphone with your hand.
